Fresh Review of BA190 (Business) and 191, (Prem Ec) Return Trip from Austin --> LHR
Just completed this trip. We upgraded to Business about a week before departure after booking PE many months ago. Payed approximately $1950 dollars to upgrade 2 seats.
- Was the A350 with Club World. Business is so great for the outbound. Neither wife or I sleep well on flight, but so much more comfortable to be lying down flat. We both felt the space was adequate. The space itself - ie, the small storage cabinets and the space on floor - are a bit wonky, but we had plenty room, plenty overhead room. Service was better, food was better. We received great value and would def do it again for that price.
- Return in PE, seats 23 A and B. Room enough considering neither of us planned to have a real sleep. Service was definitely less in PE, the attendants were simply more stretched. Food was good if not great. Snack at end of flight was, IMO, terrible, as it has always been. Wish they'd ditch those fried pies.
All in all good value, flights on time.
One other note - on our return I noticed that in Coach there were many empty seats, indeed many empty rows on our Wed return LHR--> Austin flight.
Austin International Luggage system is not good. Austin, you can and should do better if hope to become an international gateway.
